VAR ITY FOOTB ,1 Cocaptains Sherwood and Crum discuss strategy with Coaches Rentko and Tullai before the Glenelg game. LL... SAINTS WIN ON HOMECOMING DAY The 1958 football season proved to be a disappointing one for St. Pauls record wise. The Crusaders could manage only three wins against live losses as compared with a surprising 5-1-l log the previous year. It can be considered successful, however, because the Saints came through with two victories to end the eight game schedule on a high note. An early season loss to a strong Bel Air team demoralized the high spirit which prevailed through the Edgewood game, and it was not until the Clenelg test that the Crusaders finally caught on fire. Led by Spirit Award winner Johnny Carr and high scoring Charles Vcrdery the Saints displayed strong offensive and defen- sive povver in breaking a Five game losing streak. The Varsity exhibited its best performance against a stubborn St. James eleven on Home- coming Day. In an all-out team efiort, which included great defensive play by John Tompkins TY Fourth anrl one-3 what should we do? Counterclockwise beginning with no. 81:4 J.

tags .lust an STP in yellow chenille- That's all you see, sez you? Brother, you've got a lot to learn, Let me tell you a thing or two. To you, just a golden monogram, But it means a lor to me. That's why I wear it on my chest For all the world to see. This letter stands for sacrifice, For a training pledge fulfilled, For sweaty, grinding practice, For coaching, patient and skilled. For fellowship in the locker room VVith the best gang in the land, For talks at the half, and muddy duds, And being too tired to stand. I For liniment, and the trainer's hands As he rides that Charley horse , CQ 99 The thrill of a win on field or court, And the bitter shock of a loss. For the spirit that never quits, tho' You're licked and your senses reel- My letter means that and plenty more Don't you see how I feel? lust STP in yellow chenille- That's all you see, sez you? Think of the boys who, years before, Won a letter like this, too, Who cherish it still and always will Till the end of their earthly trip, They know it's a symbol of courage, Of the best in sportsmanship. When my St. Paul's days are over, And it's time for a sad farewell, This STP I'll carry with me, For, brother, I think it's swell. The Spirit 1943
